television. i was about to have that discussion, and i want, you know what? better to change the topic. when you go on a computer and wants to prove you're a human and you have to identify crosswalks, cars, buses, you'll notice everything you have to identify is something that a self-driving car would need to identify. there's nothing that is outside the realm of what a car or a driver would see. so that is the same thing. it is making the algorithms for a car and a camera on a car better. so we are all contributing to this automated world. >> wow. >> -- at the expense of our privacy sometimes. i think that's an important story. thank you, my friend. >> thanks, ali. we expect an indictment. just machines ago, that happened. the indictment is from an investigation by robert mueller into lobbying efforts undertaken at paul manafort's direction and at the behest of the pro-russian

government of ukraine. craig allegedly made false and misleading statements during an october 2017 interview with the special counsel's office about statements he made to the justice department. okay. if you think it's hard to follow, don't worry. i have tom witter. he's the guy i always get, nbc white house correspondent kristen welk is here. tom, let's start with you, what goes this about? >> this stems from the investigation that came from the special counsel's office. one of the things they immediately focused on was paul manafort, because there was an investigation into him and this lobbying effort. one of the things they looked at was a report done by report thieves paid for, $4 million to essential do a report that says on behalf of the yanukovych et

government, that that arrest was perfectly final, and that no, there was no impropriety by the government that's currently in. ukrainian legal experts said that was a complete whitewashing of what occurred, but the report was put together at the behest of he greg craig, and all part of that pro-putin government, and yanukovych. so paul manafort was directing these various efforts, and today's indictment refers to whether or not greg craig should have registered as an agent of ukraine. basically once he started talking to reporters, once he became more of a public face of this, at that point he was essential lobbying, the justice department argues, on behalf of ukraine and at that point point he should have filed the necessary paperwork. at the time he wasn't brought up on charges, but when he talked

to the special counsel's office, he perpetuated the lies and misstatements, so they decided to bring the charges. >> he's a lawyer, had -- i'm also dumbfounded by people who lie for an arm of government. >> and frankly it's a bit confusing. when you look at this, it is not uncommon for them to go back to them and say, you know, we're looking at this, we have these public reports, we have these investigations that are going on you really should registered, and as my colleague said perfectly last hour, many have come forward to where he rretro file. at the worst, they get a slap on the wrist. and given this heightened government, why not retroactive

file? >> kristen, any remark from the white house? >> reporter: no, they told nbc news overjigt mr. craig is not guilty of any charge, and the stubborn insistence -- adding, quote, he did not like to his -- and his was told he was not required to register as a foreign agent. so that is the pushback. that is what we can answer pace hearing. this is someone who's been a heavyweight for quite some time, serving under president obama and clinton. so a lot of folks paying attention to this. we have reached out to the white house, and so far no reaction. >> tom winter and nbc white house correspond kristen welker,

thank you. do you still love wikileaks? that was the question posed to president trump. the president's response was not one you would expect coming from someone who reportedly brought up wikileaks on the campaign trail. >> i know nothing about wikileaks. it's not my thing. and i know there is something having to do with julian assange. i've been seeing what's happened with assange. that would be a determination, i would imagine, mostly by the attorney general who's doing an excellent job. i know nothing about t it's not my deal in life. >> not my deal in life. julian assange was arrested this morning after spending nearly seven years inside the ecuadorian embassy in london. the justice defendant is charging assange for one count

of somewhere to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break a password for a government computer. the password was being sought by chelsea mannings who provided 740,000 classified military documents that wikileaks published in 2010. this is not the wikileaks involved in the 2016 election and the release of other hacked e-mails. this 2010 hack was one of the largest compromises of classified information in u.s. history. to give you an idea, the material that manning gave wikileaks included 90,000 reports from the afghanistan war, 400,000 from the iraq war, and 250,000 state department cables which are meant to be private. manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison, but her sentence was shortened to seven year and it expired in 2017.

assange is accused of helping manning crack a password. matt bradley joins me from london. >> >> reporter: ali, like you were saying, this has been on a slow boil for many, many year. now just today there's been a lot of fast developments. it all started this morning shortly after 9:00 a.m., when the iowa dorian officials there invited cops from the metropolitan police, from scotland yard here, to come into the embassy and to literally carries julian assange out. he was with his full white beer, carrying a gore vidal book that he was later reading. he was brought here where he appeared in court with a black suit, with his long hair tide up. he flashed a thumbs-up to some of the reporters in the gallery, and then he was very quickly

accused and convicted of skipping bail here in london. that accusation, that conviction carrying a penalty of up to a year in prison, but now, for the timeline coming forward, we have until may 24th, when we expect to see julian assange again in a hearing where we expect him to hear discussing extradition to the united states. you mentioned the only charge that's levied against him, that carries a maximum of a five-year sentence. the swedish authorities also thinking about revival the rape case brought years ago, but right now he doesn't appear to be in serious legal jeopardy at the moment. a lot of you have heard his name, and i want to be clear, today's allegations don't have a direct connection to 2016, but assange was a key figure in special counsel robert mueller's probe. remember, wikileaks released

thousands of e-mails from hillary clinton's campaign chairman, and then president trump praised wikileaks for the days leading up to the election. >> wikileaks, i love wikileaks. this stuff is unbelievable. it tells you the inner heart. you got to read it. >> boy, they have really, wikileaks, they have revealed a lot. what about the hillary clinton fiasco? what about all the wikileaks? >> u.s. intelligence officials have concluded that those hacks were in fact conducted by the russian government. mueller's team indicted 12 russian agencies who were involved in that meddling. mueller has not charged asang for any crimes, but he did appear in several indictments, including trump's close adviser roger stone. stone claimed his credit associate and friend served as a

back channel to wikileaks. here with me on set, randy he credico, and anna scheckter, and ben collins. welcome to all of you for being here. randy, we have -- we've seen text messages between you and roger stone about -- you know, before the wikileaks release. take us back to that time. what was going through your mind you had contact with roger stone and julian assange. >> i went and say julian assange a year after those text messages came out. roger stone, not an associate. you really have to disabuse yourself of that kind of name-calling. he was on and off for years i knew of roger stone. i think it was september 2016, he wanted me to get something to

assange. assange had done my radio show in new york city on wbai back on august 25th. that's the first time i had any communication with him. i didn't have communication with him again until the following april. so i was not that close. i went to london in the middle of september. roger stone knew i was going. he tried to get me to pass something to assange to get it verified. it would something to do with a cable that dealt with the libyan peace plan and hillary clinton's sabotaging it. oy tried to get no. i was saving face. i went there ostensibly to offer assange a radio show i went inside like that character from

"the addams family." >> you have called asang a friend. >> he is. i've been in the embassy on three occasions. you know, we have talked a lot of things. today is national pet day today, and i brought bianca we he with me. >> we'll see if we can get a shot of the dog. so he and i developed a friendship. his mother who texted me, she's not feeling well, this is a bad day for her, and we talked about blue healer eheelers. what he misses are his dogs and family. i saw him, i think it was november of 2017. he wasn't looking good that day,

but pretty chirpy, you know, pretty any a happy mood. >> right. >> he had been in these conditions for six years, in a very small sro type of apartment. the conditions when he got shut down on march 27th, 2018, that was it. >> so just over a year ago. >> he said do msnbc. >> i appreciate that. thank you. an anna, we'll have a lot of time to discuss why he is considered a hero by some, and the worst to others he he's right in the middle of all of this. we often talked about the role of assange and the e-mails. >> he is one of the central characters as that narrative was playing out with each indictment we saw with mueller. he is the person who published

the thousands of dnc e-mails and personal e-mails of hillary clinton's campaign manager that proved so damaging to her. he shows up in that indictment of the 12 russian intelligence agents, and also in the indictment of roger stone, alleging that he lied about the attempts to see what jewel jan assange had. so he was a central character. he kept coming up, but he's never been charged. this charge today is completely unrelated. so it's interesting. >> ben, wikileaks has claimed to be in favor of transparency about the inner workings of government, disclosing those things that the government won't show you. >> right. >> there's a lot of dispute about that, but it seems as nan said, with respect to the disclosures of the e-mails, it seemed to be coming down on one

side of the issue, seemed to help with russian interference, and helped donald trump. >> he's being charged with hacking in 20089. in 2016, he said some -- the things he said about they e-mails. >> he doesn't hack, by the way. he doesn't hack. >> okay. okay. >> that's what he's charged with in the indictment. in to 16, it went from a transpaerges organization on twitter. one was about seth rich, the murdered dnc staffer. that conspiracy theory is that he actually leaked these -- assange nose he did not, but wikileaks kept pushing it out there, and the family asked several people to stop doing this. and think kept doing it. they put out a bounty to see who murdered this guy. two days before the election, in 2016, they put out this thing about spirit cooking. spirit cooking was a hashtag with 20,000-plus retweets that

accused hillary clinton of wore shipping satan. that was picked up. five days prior, they tweeted about how the clint position supported a child stealer based on the e-mails, and in august they tweeted about this he thing call decision fatigue and how hillary clinton was taking wake-up pills. it's a phenomenon when you're in the super market and you can't choose. so they were floating these conspiracies based on really nothing in these e-mails that they found, because in the podesta e-mails, there wasn't a lot. there is some about bernie sanders, some controversy, but there wasn't a lot to talk about, but they still conflated it. >> so randy, you are a guy who believes in media freedom. where do you draw that line? according to what ben there was

a lot floated by wikileaks that was nonsensical. >> certainly he's not referring to ones that showed that the dnc rigged the primary. because of that, the fact that they showed that they rigged the primary, today you have 25 candidates running, now you have a clean primary operation, because they did us all a favor. >> but as i said, i don't want to litigate -- it's a very good discussion. >> i want to do do my bernie sanders' impression. >> but you're about press fried dom or spreading nonsense, how do you describe how they come down on this. >> i think he's a great journalist. i don't agree with everything that he does. i'm not a julian assange cult follower, but i'm a cult follower of the first amendment and free speech. i don't like anything that folks news does. i don't like the racism, the homophobia, all of though stuff.

do i think they should be shut dow jones down? no. >> so you're equating -- >> i think it's stifling free speech. your colleague ari mel better says it sends -- why are with you lauding a william bar piece of a indictment -- >> one of the criticisms for people who don't share that view is that some of those things that were released by wikileaks gave away military movements and allowed -- >> war crimes. >> let's just talk about that. if you want to be about busting into government computers, you're going to find out stuff that might endanger americans. >> and the intelligence community has labeled asang as a hostile -- >> pompeo did. >> that's the other side of it. people in the intelligence

community are enraged, because they see themselves as trying to protect americans' civil liberties, rights and protect frankly national security, so there is going to be this debate, but the reality is julian asang picked him his side. and he went after her, and he did everything he could to damage her campaign. >> i disagree. if he had donald trump's tax -- and they tried to get them, he would have released them. if he were around operating right now, believe me that mueller report would be published, because people trusted him, they knew they would not be burned as a source. that's why he was able to get this stuff, because he would never give up the source. >> national dog day. >> i'll take it easy. they reach oat and speak in

broken english, they don't speak good english at all. for months after the fact, after, you know, people know the seth rich thing isn't for real, he keeps pushing the conspiracy theory -- >> listen, he never said that. he dissuaded people talking about seth rich, trust me. >> but his organization kept going. >> to the extend that wikileaks is julian aascension. >> well, it's like misinnocence are like ali velshi? >> i appreciate that, but --. >> one thing before we go. he was arrested for dodging bail on a separate charge. what he is -- the attempt to extra died him to the united states has nothing to do with any of the 2016 stuff we're talking about. it is about whether or not he assisted someone, chelsea manninging, into getting into government servers. >> that's a completely different idea. jabber chats is a relatively

useful chat service, or was in 2009, to cooperate with people you want to do with anonymously. there's chats on how to work out trying to crack a password. that's what he's charged with. a jury will find out if that's enough. >> it's not the elections. guys, we are out of time. >> one thing about the bail. >> real quick. >> there's 100,000 people that skip bail in the uk. he's the only one they've been chasing for seven years. >> but he's the only one who went into an embassy and stayed there. >> 17 million pounds a year to follow this guy around, just to get him on a bail charge. by the way, the sex charges, they were insinuations that were prompted by the cps, the crown prosecutor services. think got mar nye. >> we have heard that someone has asked for that investigation to be reinstated.

we will continue to report. thank to you all three of you. still ahead, senator elizabeth warren laying out her tax plans to make sure big corporations pair their fair share. but first fellow presidential candidate kamala harris says she supports increasing taxes on wealthy companies. >> the way the administration has apurchased this is backwards and has denied the fact there are a majority of working middle-class americans who are suffering, unable to get through the month and that the taxes coming out of this administration are not helping them in any way. administration are not helping them in any way. there's little rest for a single dad, and back pain made it hard to sleep and get up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid,

elizabeth warren has put forward a plan to keep the largest -- i want to take a closer look at this. the republican tax law cut the top tax rate from 35% to 21 -- yahoo finance reports that an everyone % of their profits.

place of business some small businesses get stuck with this kind of rate. in some cases, companies have gotten their tax liability to zero, even less than zero, in which they get a tax refund the institution on tax aches and economic policy, release add record that set at least 60 large companies did not pay any taxes the group says this number, the 60, is more than double the number from previous years. here's what senator warren wants

to do, she wants a 7% surtax on companies that have profits above $100 million. that would be on top of other federal taxes. her plan also included an analysis from two economists who estimate it will bring in at least $1 trillion. amazon reported profit of 10.8 billion last year. according to the institute on tax aches and economic policy, but after taking deductions and using loopholes the company ended up with a $128 million refund and if warren's plan was coming in they would oath $698

million. >> what i'm saying is you could race the corporate tax rate, but amazon would still raise zero. you can fight the fight for which loopholes need to be closed, and i'm ready for that. everybody profits from being part of this country and everybody ought to have to make a contribution. little businesses do it, medium-sized business is do it. families do it, we want the giant corporations to do it as well. debbie stabenow -- >> ali, good to see you. >> i can't remember the number of conversations i've had the argument was lower the corporate tax rate is it strikes me that

no bush a lot were closed for individuals. >> you're exactly right. i was involved in a number of amendments in fact we have had brad-new once. there were all kinds of new opportunities, but i had michigan building and construction trade workers in all week. you know what they got? they now can't deduct their tools and equipment from their taxes as a business expect. they can't deduct travel, yet when i tried to get past to shut off the fact that companies can right off business expenses when they sit -- they said no, so this whole thing is ridiculous, and something needs to be done. >> let me ask you about general motors, one of the companies that -- and economic pollicis did not pay taxes on u.s. income

last year. according to them, gm earned over 4.3 billion in the united states gm is a major employery your state, a lot of people wouldn't want you going at the bottom line, because they associate their livelihood with general motors. >> well, ali, i would say this. in fairness to all of us, there all to be a real alternative minimum tax. it's been eroded over the years. i think it's only fair that if a company is going to benefit from our national defense, and breathing the air, drinking the water, benefiting from the country that we all have the as

you know we introduced just yesterday an electric vehicle tax credit extension to make sure we're putting more electric vehicle vehicles but i also believe that all of us have a responsibility in american to chick in and do our fair share. >> this was something, you know, when people got credits it does spur the manufacturing. , what do you hope to get out of this? >> i was one of the offers of the original amount, which is the ability for the company to sell up to 200,000 and give a 7500 tax credit. we now have general motors at the cap, others at the cap,

other that soon will be, yes we still don't have the involve the electric vehicles that is really bringses the price down for consumers. during that time, i'm conventioned that there will become enough involve to be able to bring the price down, for electric vehicles. i know that fiat-chrysler will be doing that shortly, but we need to make sure we keep this going. our companies are going through tough decisions to restructure to make these automobiles for the future. now is not the time to stop creating that incentive.

>> senator, good to see you as always. still ahead, democrats question the ability of the attorney general after he claimed that spying had occurred on the trump campaign in 2016. geoff bennett just got sound with senator mark warren. t justd with senator mark warren openturning 50 opens theuard. door to a lot of new things... like now your doctor may be talking to you about screening for colon cancer. luckily there's me, cologuard. the noninvasive test you use at home. it all starts when your doctor orders me. then it's as easy as get, go, gone. you get me when i'm delivered... right to your front door and in the privacy of your own home. there's no prep or special diet needed. you just go to the bathroom, to collect your sample. after that, i'm gone, shipped to the lab for dna testing that finds colon cancer and precancer. cologuard is not right for everyone. it is not for high risk individuals, including those with a history of colon cancer or precancer.

>> i think what he said was absolutely true. there was absolutely spying. it was illegal spies, unprecedented spying. >> on wednesday barr said he believed spying did occurred. >> i think spying did occur, yes. and i believe there is a basis for my concern, but i'm not going to discuss the basis. >> geoff bennett joins us from the capital. bill barr is a noted lawyer from a long time ago. he understand that words make a difference.

>> reporter: remember, yesterday, brian shotz told the attorney that he lot, and adapt you have people close to the attorney general at the present time doesn't see that -- between the words spying and surveillance. in fact when it comes to the question of what happened and the origins of the phish's counter-intelligence investigation into the trump campaign, he's not so much worried about the surveillance as making sure the fbi followed the proper providers. liam experience, democrats, the president's critics have made the argument today that good lawyers, and certainly the

attorney general would know the significant, would have, and earlier today -- actually just in the last half hour or so, we caught up with senator mark warner, and we asked him to respond to what sources are telling us about the attorney general's comments. >> with bill barr's reputation, i expected better. i didn't expect him to be reading off talking points. i don't buy it. this guy was so careful with his language. he would not give any rationale for how he came to his conclusions, what mueller did or didn't know, and then for him to use this language? i think this was a real shot across the bow.

this is just another data point, who say they deserve, now perhaps more than ever to see the full mueller report unredacted. >> geoff bennett, thank you. joining me is the former assistant director for counter-intelligent at the fbi. frank, barr until pressure walked some of it back. the surveillance was authorized with a fisa warrant by a judge. not only that, but it was signed off on by his deputy up attorney general. he's questioning all ofs doj

this year, all of the lawyers across the street, and his own d.a.g., not to mention -- so this annilis something he's -- i'm of the school of thought that the spying word was thrown like a grenade into the room and his his attempt to back off was half-hearted. that leads us to believe that he's on the trump train, that he's going with a script that fits the president's narrative and he's preparing the groundwork to say i'm going to have to release this mueller report, but i'm telling you, i think the origins of this might be tainted. that's where i see this going. >> to what end, frank? there are a lot of people in the trump administration, we understand why they're there. bill barr wouldn't have

logically made sense for that description you just gave. this is a phi who established had is reputation. some people like him, some don't. why would he be doing that? why would he be going to capitol hill to do donald trump's bidding by spreading a falsehood that the president is very fond of? many of us are asking that question. let's look toward his stands of pardons. let's look at he so-called audition, and that 19-page memo he prepared just for the heck of it, which turned out to be an audition for the job. and maybe what we are looking at here is a deep philosophical belief of the -- regarding the powers and executive powers of the president and a belief that seems to mean that our three branching of government are not really equity, that the

executive branch is more equal than the others and this may be barr's opportunity to promote that philosophy and arch-conservatism, and do so at the behest of this president. i think that's what's coming together, a legal philosophy that seems to jibe with this president's posture. >> frank, always good to talk to you. senator bernie sanders has revised his plan to provide medicare for all americans. after the break, i'm going to ask a top white house economist about the cost of this plan, and whether the savings could make up for it. whether the savings could kema up for it. guys go through a lot to deal with shave irritation. so, we built the new gillette skinguard with a specialized guard designed to reduce it. because we believe all men deserve a razor just for them. the best a man can get. gillette.

vermont senator and democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders has reintroduced his signature medicare for all proposal. it calls for a plan that and eliminate the employer-based system. no premiums, no deductibles and no co-pays, and would covering most visits the biggest question

surrounding the plans is how we play for it. sander has suggested 1.2 trillion a year, which could be paid for by higher taxes, but that estimate may be on the low end. "new york times" asked five economists and think tank to estimate how much it would cost if it were in place in year, the estimates ranged from 2.75 trillion, to 3.9 trillion, but consider this. under current law, u.s. health care, the total cost costs about 3.7 trillion, including medicare, medicaid, private insurance, other health care spending. the white house has criticized the proposal. sarah sanders called it, quote, a total government takeover of health care that would hurt seniors, eliminate primate health insurance, and cripple or economy and future generations

with unprecedented death. joining mess is the chair it is white house. kevin hass. i want to talk about -- one is gerald talked to. one is gerald freeman. he's given bernie sanders some numbers, karl blauhauss, someone from the emery institution. the chart i'm going to show is the percentage of the economy -- the percentage of gdp they say this would cost in terms of percent of gdp. all of them, we are higher than most developed countries in terms of cost of health care as a percentage of gdp. what do we best do to get to a lower percentage, like canada, i ever other oecd country, like 50-some other countries do. >> i think the urban institute number is what i get when we do

it at cea. the urban -- >> that's about 3.78 trillion. >> yeah, i'm thinking 38 trillion over ten years or 40 trillion. i think one way to think about it is, about 20% of gdp is health care spending, a lot of it is done in the private sector, sarah mentioned the 180 million people that had private insurance. they lose their insurance and the government picks up the tab, the tab is 20% of gdp. let's do some simple math, i know we put people to sleep with the math in our seg ms, but about 70% of gdp is consumption if you use a sales tax, you're talking about a 30% sales tax or value added tax. added to what we have in the tax system, our estimate is the payroll tax would have to go up by 14%. it's a massive tax increase for people. but i think that senator sanders is responding to a real problem

in one sense. the problem is we're spending 130 billion more after the affordable care act on health care but there's still 28 million people who are uninsured. and actually life expectancy is declining and declining in a way that's historically unprecedented. so we have a health care problem that needs to be addressed by serious lawmakers, but i don't think the sanders plan is a good one. the final thing, the thing i'm most concerned about, there's economic harm, huge taxes, the government takeover, it's going to kill the quality of service were it to happen. imagine under their plan, a hospital is not allowed to buy a machine, unless it's approved by the hhs. >> people in the uk, canada, a lot of these countries where there's some form of universal coverage don't complain the service is lower, almost every measure, i think except cancer

treatment, other countries come out better paying less. here in the united states about $10,000 health care spending per capita, higher than every other country on the list and other countries have similar outcomes. i hear your argument but it doesn't bear out -- >> you are right. that spending number is right. it's a good thing to talk about. but the lower quality thing i don't think is much in dispute ali. if you look at the long lines for surgeries, the facts that canadians come to the u.s. -- >> that's not true. >> that is true. >> my father needed a stent, he got in within four days and the cost was the amount that he paid for parking at the hospital. >> you can look at the uk if you want to. >> the people who need it fast in canada and the uk -- >> no. no. >> some things you might wait for surgery -- >> the thing i was going to come back and agree with you, is that the costs are higher in the u.s. and one of the reasons is that we're the only place really where prices are set in a

somewhat competitive marketplace. and the thing that -- the second thing i was going to say that i'm really worried about is innovation. basically all the innovation happens because of investment in the u.s. or investment by people in foreign countries by something they're going to introduce in the u.s. so if you take profits away -- >> i argue that the markets in china and india are as attractive because those are countries spending more -- how come everybody else can make it work but the u.s. can't at a lower price for the same outcomes? >> the u.s. is paying prices for high quality innovation and lots of countries are free riding innovation. >> on drugs there may be an argument there. but not normal services if you're going to get an operation, that doesn't make -- >> i'm sure if you're getting an appendectomy, maybe there's not a lot of innovation there.

i'm a hoge kins survivor and me la know masseur vie vor. thank god for innovation. >> i'm careful of your time. >> i think for the trump strategy it's basically to address things, to recognize that we have lots of problems to fix and to address them and to reduce costs and to make insurance more attractive with deregulation and potentially hopefully with legislation in the future. but if you look at the consumer price index for drugs, drug prices declined in the u.s. over the last 12 months for the first time in 40 years, and they did so because the fda allowed more drugs to come in and compete. if the government takes everything over, it's going to make your life better and drive prices down. in our view it's increased competition to drive prices down. >> the middle ground for us is i

don't care whether the government runs it or somebody else does as long as everybody is covered -- >> but the government doesn't run things that work. >> i've taken more time than i was allotted, kevin. tell your staff i'm sorry. we'll be right back. tell your staff i'm sorry. we'll be right back. yes. it's way day! it's wayfair's biggest sale of the year, and you're invited! starting april 10, score our lowest prices since black friday on best-selling furniture, decor, and way more. plus, everything ships free on way day.
